Instantons at work

The aim of this review is to demonstrate that there exists a coherent picture of strong interactions, based on instantons. Starting from the first principles of QCD - via the microscopic mechanism of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking - one arrives to a quantitative description of light hadron properties, with no fitting parameters. The discussion of the importance of instanton-induced interactions in soft high-energy scattering is new.
